Faith Inspiration: The "Spirit of the Age" Would you say that the ideals of this website are a part of a "spirit of the age" today? The inspiration for these pages are in ideals put forth for the first time as part of an organized body of necessary truths for the healing of our world. Originally put forth in the 1800's, they were championed from within the new faith as taught by Baha'u'llah, Prophet- Founder of the Baha'i religion. Since then, we have seen these ideals take off. Today they form a large part of the inspiration and teachings of many contemporary faiths, sciences and peoples of our time. Such a "spirit of the age" calls to many souls and now is calling all humanity to engage in bringing forth these vital values.

Many Paths in OnenessThis site celebrates the oneness of the many paths of Soul. In the faith of the Baha'iunity is a foremost purpose along withspirituality and truth's investigation. Yet, according to that calling and in caring for the tender souls, no faith or name can be raised above another. No matter what what path you or I may hold most dear, whether we hitch our star to any faith or none at all, we and the Baha'is as well make a point of holding out a welcome for all ways. Spirituality in its broader defintion, as in love and human caring, is for all of us. Rebellion against religion's ways brought me to seek out alternatives in spiritual paths, leading me to the Baha'i with its emphasis on unity, peace and humane justice.My need and my discomfort with the religions I had known kept me coming to what seemed a new and gentle way with great possibilities for all humanity. I continued to further my investigation ,and in the end I was to learn much of what is in these pages.

More Principles Spirit is oneby any name, and that's big in Baha'i -- their watchword, in fact, is unity. Unity and Community are foremost, avoiding the limitation and separation inherent in concepts of congregation. That's just the religious old- style stuff that goes against the human needs today, inciting the rebellion and defection of the thinkers of the world. Religious competition, proselyting or "converting" people, judgments of shame, superiority, coercion and more are against the Baha'i spirit. Work is worship and the will of Higher Power is that we engage in service for the entire community of humanity. A life of loving, selfless virtue and service is sought for unity and spiritual progress.Remedies are given for all of us onearth and are not reserved for any one faith, believer, nation or affiliation. All can be a part and take a part in humanity's uplifting, evolving movement into unity and soulby any faith or none but Spirit as in love and kindliness and virtue. The Baha'i communities are open for all people to engage in the building of community, unity and the building of a better world.
